88" Ultra-Wide Stretched Bar Display for Passenger Information Systems (PIS)

32:9 Bar-Type LCD | 3840 × 1080 | High Brightness | 24/7 Operation | Custom Sizes & Cut-to-Fit Available

Internal note (delete before publishing): Items marked [CONFIRM] must be filled in or verified from the actual datasheet / test reports before this goes online or is sent to a buyer. I could not access the original hitulcd.com page (the site blocks automated access), so no Hitu-specific number below has been invented.

1. Overview

Standard 16:9 screens waste space and rarely fit where passenger information actually needs to go: above doors, along gangways, on platform pillars, in narrow ceiling-mounted channels. The 88" Ultra-Wide Stretched Bar Display solves this with a 32:9 bar-type format. It delivers roughly twice the horizontal information width of a conventional screen in a slim, space-saving housing.

It is engineered for Passenger Information Systems (PIS) and other continuous-duty public-transport and public-space deployments, with an emphasis on readability, long-term reliability and integration flexibility.

Typical use cases

2. Key Features

• 32:9 ultra-wide format: displays full route lines, multi-stop lists or two 16:9 content zones side by side on a single continuous screen, with no bezel splitting the content.

• 3840 × 1080 resolution [CONFIRM]: sharp text and route graphics readable at a distance.

• High brightness [CONFIRM: e.g. 700–1000 cd/m²]: legible in daylight, station concourses and windowed vehicle interiors.

• Wide viewing angle [CONFIRM: IPS / ADS panel type]: consistent colour and contrast for passengers standing off-axis.

• Continuous 24/7 operation [CONFIRM: rated hours]: designed for always-on public information use.

• Portrait & landscape installation [CONFIRM]: flexible for pillars, walls and overhead mounting.

• Narrow bezel, slim profile [CONFIRM: mm]: fits height-limited and depth-limited spaces.

• Multi-zone content [CONFIRM: via media player / controller]: show route map, next stop, advertising and alerts in separate zones simultaneously.

• Flexible interfaces [CONFIRM: HDMI / DP / LVDS / eDP / USB / RS232 / RJ45]: works with standard PIS controllers and embedded players.

• Custom-engineered options: alternative sizes, aspect ratios, brightness levels, touch, cover glass and bonding. See Section 5.

5. Customization & Engineering FAQ

Most stretched-bar projects involve some level of customization. The answers below cover the questions we receive most often from overseas engineers and buyers. [CONFIRM all figures with the engineering, quality and production teams before publishing.]

5.1 Technical Process & Feasibility

Q: Which cutting method do you recommend: mechanical wheel cutting or ultrafast laser cutting?The choice depends on the required tolerance, glass thickness and edge-quality target. Mechanical scribing and breaking is cost-effective for larger tolerances and volume runs. Ultrafast laser cutting gives tighter tolerances, smoother edges and less chipping, and suits narrow-border or complex-contour designs. We recommend a method after reviewing your drawing. [CONFIRM: tolerance achievable, e.g. ±0.__ mm, for each method.]

Q: Will the new dimensions interfere with the Gate/Source routing or the TFT array area?This is the first thing we check. We compare your target outline with the original panel's cell layout to confirm the cut line stays clear of driver routing, the active area and the sealing region.

What we need from you for a feasibility review:

• Target outline drawing (DXF / DWG / STEP / PDF) with tolerances

• Original panel model or specification, if you have selected a base panel

• Mounting, bezel and cover-glass constraints

• Orientation, interface and target brightness

• Operating environment (temperature, humidity, vibration)

Q: What are the edge-flatness and micro-crack control standards?We control chipping and micro-cracks through process parameters, in-line optical inspection and edge grinding/polishing where required. [CONFIRM: internal standard, e.g. max chipping size ___ µm, edge roughness ___, inspection method and sampling rate.]

5.2 Reliability & Edge Sealing

Q: How do you protect cut edges against liquid crystal leakage and moisture?After cutting, the exposed cell edge is re-sealed with a secondary sealing process, [CONFIRM: UV-curable adhesive dispensing / other], to restore the barrier against moisture ingress and LC leakage. Sealant material, cure profile and inspection are controlled as part of the process. [CONFIRM]

Q: Can the cut module pass standard consumer- or industrial-grade reliability tests?Yes, subject to the grade you specify [CONFIRM: consumer / industrial]. Typical test items are listed below. Actual results from comparable cut projects can be shared under NDA on request.

Q: Do cut and sealed edges cause light leakage or colour shift (Mura)?Edge light leakage and colour shift are controlled through the sealing design, backlight/bezel design and optical inspection. Where necessary we recommend edge masking, a suitable bezel or cover-glass design, and 100 % optical inspection of edge zones. [CONFIRM: inspection criteria.]

5.3 Cost, Yield & Lead Time

Q: What is the NRE cost for a custom cutting project?NRE depends on panel model, cut complexity, tooling/fixtures and any bonding or cover-glass work. [CONFIRM: NRE range or "quoted per project after drawing review".]

Q: How long does first-article sampling (e.g. 20 pcs) take?[CONFIRM: e.g. – weeks from drawing approval and NRE payment.]

Q: What yield and MOQ should we expect in mass production?Yield is validated during the sampling and pilot-run stage and depends on geometry and cut method. [CONFIRM: expected yield range and MOQ.] We will share a yield forecast and a pilot-run plan before mass-production commitment.
